im.not talking screeding lol u got me there

Top quality work, Ninja, as always. I can't work out how some people, usually from the US, alas, who criticise the way that we do it in Oz, claiming that it's being 'too slow'. There are so few from the US who seem to be able to screed flat and level. Hardly surprising when they use bits of timber ... or screed off timber forms, or do that kick-screeding lark, then spend the rest of the day trying to flatten out the waves, first with a bullfloat, then on knee boards etc etc. Their way certainly looks a whole lot slower and is definitely a whole extra lot of hard yakka ... 💪😉👊

[@aaronc7778]

i disagree they definitely screed flat and level, with a timber i think in Australia there is alot of over the top mumbo jumbo i mean your gonna finish the concrete anyway.

[@suedogg7907]

@@aaronc7778 a straight aluminium screed is way better over a wavy piece of timber. Aussies do it best

@@aaronc7778 you do realise we are talking about the screeding? No matter which was America was built I’m sure I wasn’t flat 😂

I just done some concrete in the English winter I’ll gonna send you some pictures mate

[@concreteninja]

Enjoy watching your videos, do you pull the round or the flat corner of the screed towards yourself

[@concreteninja]

Thanks mate, and you have the sharp edge towards you so you can cut the concrete down easy

[@JeffMTX]

That looks like about a 8 inch slump - ya get no argument from me...

[@torres23q]

You literally do the bull floaters job aswell

[@suedogg7907]

Americans just can’t screed. But fk me sideways, you guys sure can finish

[@LucaBrasi231]

I need to get me a hat like you guys wear. I like them but I would get run out of town if I wore one. The Amish wear them in the USA, but I'm not Amish...🤣

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

[@concreteninja]

Okay sounds pretty good How old are you mate? I’m 49 years old so there’s somethings I can’t do any more but I’ve got plenty things I can do

[@admk69]

Hi Ninja, do you use rebar in 10cm /100mm thick pour? I'm looking at trying to concrete my veranda. thanx mate,... cheers

[@concreteninja]

It’s probably a little bit smaller size Rebar than that but as long as you put something in, it doesn’t matter what size it is

[@concreteninja]

And 100 mm thick is good for Just cars but if you want to drive a truck do you want it 150 mil thick

[@admk69]

@@concreteninja Thanx Ninja. what about a Car Hoist

[@admk69]

@@concreteninja aw yeah. One needs to lay plastic yeah, plastic seats (for rebar) and make choice of aggregate size too.

Pretty rough formwork Don’t you boys use nails?

[@concreteninja]

No we don’t and a lot of our formwork has been very disgusting when we buy it or fucked it’s hard to get good timber where we are

[@friends4ever780]

I remember being 14 wearing shorts like that....

[@aaronc7778]

is it okay to sponge concrete like some lines or marks just curious

[@aaronc7778]

when you said rake down do you mean rake on a flatter angle? softer
